Michelle and Bianca were not only talented in make up and hair, but charming to have there through the wedding day morning. Would rehire them in a heart beat.

I can't recommend Michelle Bell enough. No disappointments. She is passionate about what she does and it shines and shows big time. I felt comfortable and at ease, no worries. I had been in good hands the entire day of my wedding.

From the moment I met Michele at the consultation there was an immediate connection. She was quick to understand and happy to take the time to try out different looks on me. My wedding was held at the Saratoga National Golf club, it was a fairy tale wedding. I felt and looked the part. She did a phenominal job with my makeup and hair and it stayed the entire night.

A brides hair and makeup can either make or break the wedding. We all know if the bride isn't happy no one is happy. I recently got married in Saratoga NY and was searching high and low for a cosmotologist that would meet my high expectations. I must say Michele exceeded my expectations as my hair and makeup artist. She was very attentive, she knew exactly what I wanted without too much explanation. My hair which is not easy to work with. was flawless. My whole wedding party. was flawless thanks to Michele.
I would highly recommend Brides to be. Michele is so charismatic, and just simply good at what she does.

I really enjoyed working with Michele and her team! She was warm and professional and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. The consultation was great and we came up with perfect hair and make-up choices which made the wedding morning much less stressful. Everything was planning and confirmed in advance. Michele was very responsive to any questions, arrived right on time, and did a fantastic job. I would recommend her to anyone looking for hair and make-up services and look forward to working with her again in the future for any major events.
